The mask is officially off. The New York Times proved once again why Americans have zero trust in the mainstream media after publishing an obituary headline Saturday that read more like a tribute to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei than coverage of a dead terrorist dictator.

Khamenei, the brutal ruler who terrorized his own people and funded terrorist organizations across the Middle East for decades, was eliminated in joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes. But instead of celebrating the end of one of the world's most dangerous regimes, the Times chose to frame his death with the kind of respectful language typically reserved for actual world leaders.

Patriots across social media immediately called out the Times for their shameful coverage. One user perfectly captured the outrage: "They give more respect to this terrorist than they ever gave President Trump." And they're absolutely right.

The Same Paper That Attacks America First

This is the same New York Times that spent years pushing Russian collusion hoaxes, defending the Biden crime family, and attacking every single Trump policy that put America first. But when it comes to a dictator who chanted "Death to America" and funded Hamas terrorists? Suddenly they find their respectful voice.

The Times' coverage perfectly exposes the twisted priorities of the legacy media establishment. They'll bend over backwards to make excuses for America's enemies while simultaneously working overtime to undermine President Trump's successful foreign policy agenda.

"The mainstream media would rather praise dead terrorists than give credit where it's due to the Trump administration for making the world safer," one Republican strategist told sources.

Under President Trump's leadership, America and our allies are finally taking decisive action against the Iranian regime that has destabilized the entire Middle East. Instead of celebrating this victory for freedom and security, the Times chooses to play defense for terrorists.

This disgraceful coverage is exactly why Trump was right to call them "fake news" and why millions of Americans have completely tuned out the corrupt mainstream media. When will patriots finally say enough is enough to these anti-American propagandists masquerading as journalists?

The Iranian people deserve so much better than the oppressive regime Khamenei led. The NYT should be highlighting the voices of Iranian dissidents and freedom fighters, not mourning their oppressor.

Why does the so-called 'paper of record' consistently side with authoritarian regimes over democratic values? This is journalistic malpractice at its finest.

Because they hate America more than they love truth. It's been obvious for decades.

Does anyone know if they wrote similar puff pieces when other dictators died? I'm genuinely curious how consistently they apply this 'respectful' coverage to America's adversaries versus our allies.

I served two tours in the Middle East and saw firsthand the destruction Iran's regime caused through their proxy groups. For the NYT to eulogize Khamenei like some respected statesman is a slap in the face to every service member and innocent victim.

Absolutely disgusting but not surprising from the NYT. They've been carrying water for America's enemies for years while trashing our own leaders.

Exactly! They'll write hit pieces on Republicans all day but give glowing obituaries to dictators. The bias is off the charts.
